Current knowledge about the favourable socioeconomic attainment (in education and earnings) among children of immigrants is based on the experiences of those whose immigrant parents came to Canada before the 1970s. As is well documented in the literature, successive cohorts of adult immigrants have experienced declines in entry earnings. This study looks at whether children of recent cohorts of immigrants also have experienced deterioration in educational attainment and earnings, and whether any such deterioration was associated with changes in their parents' labour market outcomes. Understanding these outcomes is important because children of immigrant parents constitute a large and growing part of the Canadian population. How children of immigrants fare in Canada's economy is also one metric of the longer-term impacts of immigration.--Document.
